It tells me that you're not a valued professional, you're a line worker. There can't possibly be any reason why you'd need privacy to have difficult conversations or focus on important tasks.
- paulcole 10y agoMy open office has a conference room for meetings. Otherwise I just focus at my desk. I manage to make do.
- notfreeyet 10y agoSome people would like to do their best work not merely "make do". Life is short and I don't want to waste it by not actively pushing myself to do my best. While I may not be working on something that is very important, it is very important to me that I do my best work. So when a company tells me to "make do" they're telling me I can't do my best work and so I should leave, because that's important to me.
- taurath 10y agoBecause you manage to make do, everyone else must be whiners or special snowflakes? I've been in many office setups and am objectively more productive and have better succeeding teams. Thankfully I have plenty of options now and don't have to put up with "making do".
